Super Mario Galaxy 2

This is a discussion on Super Mario Galaxy 2 within the General Discussions forums, part of the Community Boards category; Comes out today! May 23rd. It's getting such stellar reviews.
It's the 3rd highest rated game of all time according ...

Um, no it isn't. It's supposed to be about fun. SMG
was never intended as a multiplayer game. It was
never marketed as such, either. The multiplayer
aspect was just something thrown in there for little
kids to do while daddy was playing. It should have
absolutely no impact on determining the game's worth.

The world is ruined. Ruined I tell you, when a game like Super Mario Galaxy 2 gets such high reviews. Or maybe...

Maybe Nintendo games suck so much that the only better ones end up getting such high reviews? That or ethic owns gamerankings.com.

I don't understand either way. When "You are a space marine and you need to save earth in highly detailed 3D and innovative gameplay" no longer is a synonym of Smash Hit, the world is gone bananas.

Princess Peach invites Mario to the Star Festival, a time when Star Bits rain down from the skies over the Mushroom Kingdom. On his way, Mario finds a Luma, who immediately befriends him and grants him the ability to Spin. Shortly thereafter, Mario's archnemesis Bowser, who has grown to an immense size, invades and attacks the Mushroom Kingdom. Kidnapping the princess, Bowser escapes into outer space to create his empire at the center of the universe again. Mario is given control of Starship Mario, a mobile planetoid in the shape of his head, made by a crafty Luma mechanic called Lubba and piloted by other Lumas; his mission is to fly across the universe in pursuit of Bowser and the Princess and to help Lubba find the lost Lumas that were part of Bowser's plot

Man, I wish I worked for Nintendo. I'd love to work for an
organization that's making the world a better place.

You can't even logically debate about any of their games without resorting to immature fanboy phrases

Sure I can. It's just none of the criticisms I hear are logical.
When you use the co-star mode of Super Mario Galaxy as
a criticism against what is obviously a single-player game,
it just comes of as grasping at straws to satisfy your own
bias.

Maybe I'm a Nintendo Fanboy (I am); but you, sir, are a
Nintendo Hater! And it's for no other reason than because
they chose to go another route with gaming than a bump
in graphics. We both have our biases; you're far from
objective, m'man. I, however, am completely upfront and
honest about my disposition.

Everybody else on this board tries too hard to be Spock.
You are not and never will be Spock, guys! Time to let
the fantasy go! It's okay to experience emotion, fellas.
Logic isn't everything.

The world is already ruined because it's dominated by FPS games, the worst games to possibly exist. And to think you hear people talk about them IRL and they get good reviews... the world is definitely ruined.
On a more serious note, each review site has a bias. Don't believe them. They like SMG because it's a game that appeals to them. But that doesn't mean it appeals to everyone.
In other words, pay no heed to review sites. They're biased, and unless your biased is the same as theirs on a particular game, you simply cannot take their word for anything.

I am looking forward to getting the game myself. I liked the first game a lot and went as far as getting all the stars. I am hoping to do the same with this one.
